Chapter 1097: Pursue and Attack
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The entire sea seemed to have sunk into great fury. Thunderbolts, windstorms, and tsunamis were raging on incessantly.
At the center of all the windstorms and tsunamis, a huge and invisible cavity floated in the intersection between the seawater and atmosphere. It was about the size of half the Imperial Capital, and it was crazily engulfing the atmosphere and seawater, causing a tremendous amount of water and air to keep on flowing toward the hole. This formed the scene of raging wind and rain.
At the sight of this scene, Fang Xingjian frowned. The feeling that something was not good appeared in his heart.
He split out a portion of his martial will and sent it walking toward that hole. In the blink of an eye, the space-time in front of him wavered for a moment, and he discovered that he had arrived in a stretch of the universe’s vacuum.
A stretch of starry sky appeared before him, and his surroundings became an area of vacuum. Earth had disappeared completely.
Behind Fang Xingjian, a tremendous amount of air and seawater kept gushing out from void space, turning into all sorts of strange shapes as they floated in the universe’s vacuum.
“Earth… disappeared?”
The part where Earth and Miracle World had overlapped was a sea region. With Earth’s disappearance, the seawater and air from Miracle World kept on gushing into the universe’s vacuum, causing the scene of raging wind and rain.
Fang Xingjian’s martial will soared into the sky in Miracle World, turning into three streams of light and dissipating into the air.
After understanding this situation, he immediately informed the Crown Princess, Silver Mage King, and Ulpian.
“I think… we have trouble.”
After informing the three of them, Fang Xingjian’s clone continued to probe in the universe’s vacuum. His martial will scanned out in all directions, and he immediately discovered some strange traces.
A short moment later, the Crown Princess, Silver Mage King, and Ulpian appeared at the two ends of the ocean on Earth and Miracle World. Each of them sent out a clone to investigate the situation.
They looked at the disappearing Earth and the huge hole above the Western Sea, and all of them wore astonished expressions.
Ulpian shook his head. He was attempting to shrink the region where the space-time overlapped, but it was useless.
“Based on this speed, Miracle World’s ocean and atmosphere would be sucked dry within a month if we don’t make an attempt to stop this. No mortal will be able to survive.”
A hint of fury and killing intent flashed on the Silver Mage King’s face. He pressed out with one hand, and an invisible force descended from the sky. The raging surface of the sea was flattened, turning into a blue mirror and becoming very still.
Simultaneously, the seething atmosphere calmed down as well. Within a range of 1,000 lis, there were no more traces of a breeze at all, and the entire sea turned extremely calm once again.
However, as the seawater and atmosphere stopped flowing, an invisible sphere-shaped region appeared between the sea and the atmosphere.
The Silver Mage King had forcibly used his powers to fend off the flow of the seawater and air, exposing the overlapping region between the two worlds.
“Regardless, we must first stop the disaster from spreading.” Fang Xingjian made a move as well, and invisible sword Qis circled around the sphere-shaped region.
Concurrently, the Crown Princess and Ulpian made a move too. Two streams of martial will—one having a golden glow and the other a silver glow—soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they encompassed the entire coast.
Fang Xingjian and the other three were the strongest cultivators in Miracle World. With them joining hands at the moment, endless strong forces instantly cut across the air and suppressed the four directions, encompassing the entire overlapping region. The connection between the two worlds was temporarily locked, preventing the disaster from further continuing on. It was as if they had used a plug to block off an underground sewer.
Ulpian said, “This seal can sustain for about a month. If the problem isn’t solved within a month, we’ll need to continue sustaining the seal.”
The Silver Mage King said, “Is there a way to close up the space-time passageway?”
Ulpian said, “There’s currently no way to do that. The overlapping space-time region here is the same as the Western Land that I went to observe earlier. They were both set up by White’s powers. If we make a move, there will probably be impacts that are hard to predict.”
At the same time, the four people in the universe’s vacuum were also analyzing the situation before their eyes.
“There are no remnants and no remaining heat radiation, and we haven’t discovered any apparent meteors other than the solar system for now. We can eliminate the possibility that the entire planet has been crushed by a single attack,” the Crown Princess said calmly.
The Silver Mage King stroked his chin, looked at the gradually disappearing faint space ripples, and said, “This should be some kind of space interference method. The remaining force field still caused space-time to become distorted. This means…”
Ulpian raised his brows and said, “Someone has taken away the entire planet?”
Fang Xingjian’s gaze flashed, and he asked, “Can we track it?”
“Let me verify it. Thank goodness you discovered it early. If over ten hours have passed, then even I won’t be able to track it.”
Ulpian smiled. Streams of silver light flashed out from his eyes. The entire world seemed to have become different under his senses. His gaze seemed to penetrate through the timeline, looking into the scene that appeared during the past few minutes.
A stretch of piercing white light had encompassed the starry sky, and the distorted space covered up the entire Earth. Everything happened instantly.
By the time they reacted, the entire planet had instantly distorted and shrunk. In the end, it was like a very long strand of noodle, sucked into a palm-sized hole and completely disappeared.
When Earth disappeared, there was only a small metal sphere—that was the size of a palm—left behind. It was as if this unbelievable metal sphere stored the entire planet.
“Then…”
A few spaceships that were the size of buildings floated slowly next to the metal sphere. As the several force fields delivered their impact, a spaceship grabbed the metal ball back into its cargo.
“Unbelievable. What kind of technique is this?” Ulpian said while his eyes were completely covered by silver light. “Earth was shrunk to palm-size by some kind of space technology and then captured by a few spaceships.”
“The spaceships themselves have space-jumping technology. They went to…”
At the next moment, Ulpian led the other three, successively performing Spatial Translocation methods while jumping all the way to the solar system’s borders.
The moment they arrived at this place, the four of them discovered a tremendous amount of heat energy remnants.
Fang Xingjian looked at the radiation in vacuum and said calmly, “They haven’t left for long. It doesn’t seem to be ordinary space jumping means.”
Ulpian put out his hand and grabbed out. Areas of colorful glow appeared before them. “It’s quantum foam. They’ve used quantum foam to head to another universe.”
“Quantum foam?” Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned. Looking at the glow in Ulpian’s hand, he suddenly reacted.
He recalled that when he was striving for the Divine level, what he needed to do was to break through the limits of the microscopic world, reaching a passageway where there was neither time nor space.
They were clearly what Ulpian had called quantum foam, as well as the passageway that led to other universes.
It was just that when he strived for the Divine level, it would be useless even if he were to use all of his powers to break through the passageways and head to other universes.
“To see a world in a grain of sand…. Each quantum foam can lead to one universe. At the ends of time and space, it’s just another brand new stretch of universe.” Saying that, Ulpian’s eyes lit up with silver light once again. “Quantum foam goes through billions of changes in every second. Each of them lead to a different universe. Thankfully, it hasn’t been long since those people left. I’ll try to find them.”
